Empathy Grows As We Learn.

It Is Unlikely That Someone Could Proclaim "truths" That Are Counter To Physical Laws For Very Long (for Example, That It Is Healthy For Children To Run Around In Bathing Suits In Winter And In Fur Coats In Summer) Without Appearing Ridiculous. But It Is Perfectly Normal To Speak Of The Necessity Of Striking And Humiliating Children And Robbing Them Of Their Autonomy, At The Same Time Using Such High-sounding Words As Chastising, Upbringing, And Guiding Onto The Right Path.

What Is Addiction, Really? It Is A Sign, A Signal, A Symptom Of Distress. It Is A Language That Tells Us About A Plight That Must Be Understood.

If We Do Not Work On All Three Levels -- Body, Feeling, Mind -- The Symptoms Of Our Distress Will Keep Returning, As The Body Goes On Repeating The Story Stored In Its Cells Until It Is Finally Listened To And Understood.

Genuine Feelings Cannot Be Produced, Nor Can They Be Eradicated. We Can Only Repress Them, Delude Ourselves, And Deceive Our Bodies. The Body Sticks To The Facts.

Discipline Is ... Life-inhibiting, Is At The Very Least Curtailment Of Vital Activity Insofar As The Latter Cannot Develop As It Wishes But Is Confined Within Specific Limits And Subjected To Specific Rules.
